What's Not Included

Entrance fees (to be paid directly at each site): Giraffe Centre: $15 per person. Elephant Orphanage and National Park gate: the elephant orphanage is inside Nairobi National Park, so it requires two entrance fees - one at the National Park gate ($43) and one for the elephant orphanage ($20).
